dude...this can happen with any rim with low profile tires. I personally think falken rims are not that bad of quality. Many high quality rims get destroyed by potholes even if it is minor. Just my two cents about that.

my friend has them in 18" on her 98 civic. They look ok except for the fact that they only make one wheel. That sucks because on one side of the car the spokes point forward and on the other side, they point back.

The reason is similar to 1998 Integra GSR Rims (blades) They are like that too. It really doesnt matter man if they made two rims..it would be a hassle because defines which side you have it on. I say it looks good i mean one side will be different but I don't mind that.

I have a friend that had them on a Milenia. They must be nice rims, cause when his car got stolen, the stole his wheels before abandoning it. His were 19's.

are you talking about the blades? Integra rims were only 15inch...Rims are rims man, and let's face it some people are shady and will cop them because they look nice. Sad how things work... :sadwave:

do those lug locks actually do anything?

In his case, no, he had the lock in his car....

Basically all they will do is slow someone down. We have tools at work that make taking them off pretty easy.
